Let's remember what we're celebrating here people! ------The birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!  Not Santa! And if that should offend someone, that 's just too damn bad!!! 
 
Scholars differ widely as to the precise year and month of birth. I suppose the safest bet is to have Christmas every day of the year.

I'm not of the Chritian faith but I have no problems about saying "Merry Christmas" to everyone-esepecially those of the Christian faith. :)
 
That being said, I find your comment a bit abrasive.

"Abrasive"?  Oh really!  Well at 71 years old, I feel I've earned the right to be a little------"abrasive" at times.  You may, or may not, agree with me, but frankly, that's none of my concern.
 
Whatever happened to the concept of wisdom coming with age? Are you one of those who think there is a conspiracy against Christmas?

CHRITIAN faith?  Wasn't than on an episode of Star Trek?
 
But seriously, I agree with you...I'll say Merry Christmas to those I know celebrate it, and to those who do not, I will say happy holidays.
The world is made up of all kinds...

"Conspirancy", No, but I do feel that all this so call "political correctness" as gotten way out of hand!  To the point where the fear of offending someone, now frnges on stifuling ones personal freedoms! This country was founded on religous freedom, and values. Those same freedoms, and values, today are being attacked by those who are intolerant of everything, and anyone, that might make them feel unconfurtable. Well, my answeer to that is "that's too damn bad!" That's the price one pays to keep those same freedoms. Is the Church being attacked today? Yes it is! All over the world!

I've often noticed that those lucky enough to have found the One True Faith have little difficulty in saying how others should think and act and, as seen, feel they have full license to be as abrasive and condescending as they wish.

Maybe you should take your own lesson to heart in regards to tolerance and let people celebrate Christmas however they wish and for whichever reasons their hearts determine.
